The opening guitar to Cross Off by Mark Morton (feat Chester Bennington) echoes, and the words repeat

"Cross Off the days gone..."

"Cross Off the days gone..."

GONE BYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

As Mark Morton's guitars sear through the arena, Eddie "n1ghtcraw1er" Cross steps out of the back and stops to survey the crowd before pumping a fist into the air. He adjusts his custom gaming glasses before walking down the ramp focused on the ring. EC pauses at the ring steps, taking off his backpack, unzipping the main compartment, and placing it in the corner of the ring. He waits for the transition between verses before psyching himself up. Vince Howard is waiting.

Vince Howard: From Charlotte, NC, standing six feet four inches and weighing in at 225 lbs, EDDIE "N1GHTCRAW1ER" CROSS!!!

He then runs up the ring steps, wipes his feet on the apron, and enters the ring as Chester Bennington screams into the microphone.

Eddie rolls his neck and prepares for the match.
